This game is excellent and has a lot of potential! I think the creator could add more sexual content, as some scenes feel very weak. I suggest cutting the gay scenes with the boy and focusing less on him – we prefer him as a cuckold or in interactions with the main character.

Story:
As someone with ADHD, I struggle to keep track of "who’s who / what’s what," especially when characters are introduced via a single mention in the text. I can’t remember the names of random dukes dropped in dialogue. Maybe give them an actual introduction, throw in some graphics, or even a map? Instead, the names flash by and leave my brain faster than they appeared on screen.
But it turns out... it doesn’t matter. Within a few clicks, I realized the story feels like it was written by either an AI or someone in the middle of a fever dream. Within a single minute, the plot went from someone assembling an army against the MC to traveling to a city, the mayor groping Anna, job hunting, the MC casually casting a snake illusion on a bed “just because,” and then Anna getting bored, so the MC puts her to sleep for hours with a spell... just to stand by her bed and stare. On day three, there’s literally a line of dialogue that says, "Yeah, it’s pretty boring," which repeated for 20 days straight until the game ended. Only then did I realize I was supposed to try other options than “sit on the bed and stare.”
The one surprise was a combat sequence in a cave. In a Ren’Py game. I managed to beat up a bunch of bandits until their health went negative, sitting there stunned at both the suddenness and pointlessness of the whole thing. Later, I found out the outcome of the fight doesn’t even matter.
The story and “plot” are as shallow as a puddle. You’ll forget about it entirely after clicking through 20 days of Anna working in three different places while the MC reads books. Honestly, you’d have more fun asking a six-year-old to narrate her Sims gameplay to you.
The game description on this site? It spoils 100% of the content. Scroll through the attached screenshots, and boom, you’ve just finished the game without downloading 450 MB of zip file nonsense. I have a sneaking suspicion the dev started making the game first and only later thought, "Wait, what’s this actually going to be about?" Everything about the game screams that.
Graphics:
The visuals are... bad. The renders look like promotional images for RuneScape circa 2004. The thousand-yard stare every character has is the real killer here. It’d work so much better if they either looked at each other or directly at the player. Instead, they stare blankly into space, which matches the vibe of the empty, generic environments. The locations are lifeless—like, "Oh, here’s a tavern because it’s got a sign that says ‘Tavern,’ and here’s a blacksmith because, duh, it’s a blacksmith." That’s as deep as it goes.
I get that the dev might’ve been going for a retro 3D aesthetic, but it’s not for me. I’ll give them credit for consistency, though. The graphics don’t suddenly dip in quality because they never had any to begin with. So, yeah, that one pity point is yours.
Sound:
There is none.
Music:
None of that either.
Characters:
The characters are as deep as a kiddie pool. The MC has a backstory, but it’s literally just, "He has a dad." That’s it. Everyone else simply exists. If I had to guess, the dev probably didn’t even write a two-sentence summary for each character before making the game.
Anna is completely brain-dead. She doesn’t care who touches her, kisses her, or even sniffs her panties. Every other character keeps repeating how beautiful she is, and in a world like this, they’re right—there are no other options. Ellie looks like a medieval yoga instructor for seniors, and Camilla looks like someone set every slider in a character creator to neutral. Yuki showed up so briefly in my second playthrough that I couldn’t even form an opinion.
Anna’s internal monologues are pure gold, though: “Uh, I can’t believe that merchant sniffed my panties, and I also kissed the mayor for some reason.” Chef’s kiss.
The game world feels empty. You get the impression that only 20 people exist in the entire universe.
As for corruption mechanics, this game teaches us what all these games do: that Anna, a totally sexually oblivious girl, will magically transform into a nymphomaniac within a week. It’s like some Fibonacci curve of dicks where every encounter accelerates her into a new level of "touch me everywhere, all the time."
Meanwhile, the MC is... a lost child. Like, literally. His actions and motivations are random AF, like a ping-pong ball in a tornado. He seems unsure if he even likes women, given how he’s totally fine making out with random men and letting himself get fondled.
H-scenes:
Basically nothing. Two masturbations, a couple of Anna’s boobs, a few bare butts, one handjob, and three erect dicks. That’s it.
Promise:
I don’t believe this game will ever go anywhere. We’ll probably see 5–6 more updates where the dev just adds random stuff they dreamed up, and then they’ll abandon it. There’s nothing here to hook players.
This feels like shovelware the dev made for their own amusement—and I’m not here to ruin their fun—but the rest of us are getting nothing out of it. I’m willing to bet $100 this game will never release as a finished, interesting title. (Just in case: No, slapping a “v1.0” on it tomorrow doesn’t count.)
